Quote from @Llamier Guzman: Hello people!

That shows real estate can be possible for anyone; in my opinion, I know everyone has unique and challenging situations, but in principle, anyone who can follow some basic budget fundamentals can save up enough for a down payment.Grateful BiggerPockets continues to bring more people into the industry!

Similar to what Patrick stated - most have ITINs and have seen a lot of loans like that and those are sold many times on secondary market. if not I know people who still originate I would say they are tougher to sell on secondary market but there are still buyersRe: jay comment - price of notes has doubled over past five years on many loans - especially defaulted or loans with some hair too them. 

Down payment funds may seem tricky to those who get lured in by the countless con artists on social media selling the notion 100% financing using other people's money is easy.

Would love to meet more people.  

Especially when there was far wealthier people than me spectating my journey, and probably highly successful and well to do  people here reading this. 

Would it be better to stay in San Antonio and network with people in San Antonio?

People have already moving to the Surprise/303 area in recent years.
